Until today I both had intelliscreen and iToday installed on my ipod touch. I used iToday because I preferred the layout and it showed more calendar items at once, then Intelliscreen. But today the 1.02 update for Intelliscreen got released with some real nice new features that definitely made me switch to Intelliscreen. Intelliscreen, the application that allows you to customize your lockscreen with live rss feeds, wheater reports, mail inbox, calendar items, sms inbox and several other options, now has a feature to manually customize the layout of the items.

Under the button View Layout, you get a preview of your lockscreen.
There you can add/remove the items with a single tap, lock items on the screen by double tapping them, move the items up and down in the screen, but most important of all you are able to resize the items by pinching them.
For me that’s a big plus, because it really bothered me how the old Intelliscreen only showed 2 callender items and I had to scroll down in my lockscreen to view more.
Now you can make your lockscreen items as big (or small) as you want.
What’s also very usefull is that there is an Intelliscreen #2, that means the application allows you to have 2 pages with different items.
By tapping the ‘2’ in you lockscreen (after you customized the 2nd page in Intelliscreen), you are able to view the 2nd page in the lockscreen. An interesting feature because you are now able to store more items in the lockscreen.
Yesterday the v1.01 update was released with another interesting feature. In this update they added a ‘IntelliSkin’ option, the ability to customize the intelliscreen with different colours and borders through skin packages.
The Intelliskin also has an option to request skin packages from HTTP.
There’s one downside of the application, from version 1.0 (being done with the BETA period) the developer added licenses, which means the application now costs money (it does have a trial period for 10 days).
There are 3 Different licenses:

• Basic License for $4,99

1) Locate and install the application

2) Some screenshots of the changes.

To sum it up Intelliscreen is a great application, I really love the new features but I have to think twice if the prices are worth it to get a license for it. Cause I am not really into paying money for applications, but just maybe Intelliscreen might change that.

This little app is available in the Installer.app through the Intelliborn & Modmyifone source, see our sources page.
